Abstract

AbstractThe objective of the National BioResource Project (NBRP) in Japan is to collect, conserve, and distribute biological materials for life sciences research. The project consortium of 28 core facilities of animal, plant, microorganisms, and DNA resources, and an information center. NBRP Lotus and Glycine aims to support the development of legume research through the collection, conservation, and distribution of these bioresources. Lotus japonicus is a perennial legume that grows naturally throughout Japan and is widely used as a model plant for legumes because of such advantages as its small genome size and short life cycle. Soybean (Glycine max) has been cultivated as an important crop since ancient times, and numerous research programs have generated a large amount of basic research information and valuable genetic resources for this crop. We have also developed “LegumeBase” a specialized database for the genera Lotus and Glycine and are maintaining this database as a part of the NBRP.KeywordsBacterial Artificial ChromosomeRecombinant Inbred LineBacterial Artificial Chromosome CloneCore CollectionLeguminous PlantThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
